Truck looks awesome.... what is that brake light mounted antenna mount you are running?

Thanks. I don't think they make it anymore. Bulletproof diesel has a patent.

The R.O.C. crew is awesome. Can't wait til R.O.C. Fest with them. They definitely helped me give my truck a proper break in back on the Area 51 run.

Was curious how 37's would do when someone was out like this with them or another group. Seen some guys post that they ran hard with 37's and held up fine but I had pretty good rubbing at full compression even on stock tires after the run with them.

Ya they're great and it was super fun. The rubbing in the desert at 30 psi isn't as concerning though. I took it a little easier today and still had a ton of fun without rubbing like crazy.

Some pics for you guys from Pismo. I was running a lot of whoop sections and there was a turn in one so the truck was leaning and the driver’s side bedside flare was ripped off. Then I went back for some more whoops and tore the bottom of the bedside a little. Where is some nice +2 fiberglass already?

What size tires you have on?

The 37s are rubbing like crazy at 20 psi. Definitely need glass if I plan on doing this a lot. Still have my liners and they don't look like they plan on coming out any time soon though.

He's running 37's

Hi Dude,
Quick question regarding your lights.
Which one do you prefer, the 40 inches bar or the xl80? If you had to chose only one for dune bashing.

I will go with only one option and I like the fact that the xl 80 offer a bit more adjustability. I still wondering if the 40inches bar is high enough to be very helpful.

Thanks!

The XL80s will stand on their own. The bar is much more powerful and offers much more coverage but it also costs much more and limits your bumper options. It all depends on your plans and how much you want to spend.

With that said would you run your 40" or 4 XL80s

ie: the same $$ spent (or close to)
